We Do 4 Things...Well
We are the only ministry in Georgia that actively picks up stranded youth.
Every young person on the street has a story—and deserves someone willing to listen. Street rescue brings food, water, compassion, and a path to safety directly to youth who may not know where to turn. At Jars of Clay, we meet them where they are and offer a first step toward shelter, healing, and a future filled with hope.
Street Rescue
WE LISTEN & FIND SOLUTIONS
We offer services that break systems of perpetual poverty. All the while holding youth accountable for their situation with love, support and guidance.
Every journey toward healing begins with being heard. Our intake process gives each person a safe place to share their story while we assess their immediate needs, safety, and personal goals. This first conversation helps us identify whether therapeutic services, emergency shelter, family support, or other resources are the right next step. By understanding the whole person from the beginning, we can respond with compassion and connect them with the support they need to move forward.
Intake & Direction
WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN HOUSE MORE
Every journey toward healing begins with being housing or reunified with family.
Our current housing program stays full 365 days of the year and expansion is vital.
Our new tiny house village is slated for completion in 2027. This facility can house 75 students, and offer resources and support to 1330 students. Our 2026 fundraising goal is $420,000. with $220,000 left to fundraise!
Emergency Shelter
WE CHALLENGE OUR STUDENTS...
We offer services that break systems of perpetual poverty. Education opens the door to possibility, and self-reliance gives young people the confidence to walk through it.
At Jars of Clay, we help youth build the knowledge, practical skills, and work experience they need to pursue meaningful careers and create stable, independent lives. With encouragement and opportunity, a young person can begin to see beyond today’s challenges and build a future filled with purpose, dignity, and hope. Through TRADE SCHOOL and conventional technical college, our students thrive!
